Bayley Promo
NXT Women’s Champion Bayley comes out to start this week’s NXT. Bayley says that her and Banks started a whole new level of the Diva’s Revolution. Alexa Bliss, alongside Blake and Murphy, interrupts. Bliss tells Bayley what she accomplished last week was incredible and she is a deserving champion. Bliss gets the crowd to cheer for Bayley and then steals the title from her.
When Bayley goes to get it, Blake and Murphy stop her. She says that she wants to be champ too and that people like Bayley aren’t meant to be champ before throwing the belt back in her face. Bliss and her boys head to the back, leaving Bayley in the ring.
Evan’s Note: looks like the next challenger is Alexa Bliss. This could be an exciting feud.
William Regal is shown interrupting the interview between Finn Balor and Samoa Joe after winning the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Cup at TakeOver: Respect. Joe says that he’s been undefeated since coming to NXT and wants a shot at the championship. Balor says he is a fighting champion, so he agrees. Regal says that everyone should get a shot actually, and next week (this week)will be a battle royale to see who the next NXT Championship #1 contender will be. Joe gets upset, but Regal tells him to focus on the battle royale.
Tye Dillinger, Rhyno and Apollo Crews are shown backstage in short vignettes talking about why they will win the Battle Royale tonight and become the #1 Contender.
